There’s one type of burger that’s a little bit trickier to master, however—the smashburger. Known for its crispy edges, the smashburger is a technique that puts ground beef on a hot grill for a healthy sear that yields a browned (albeit well-done) patty built for cheese and special sauce.

Granola is good for so much more than just yogurt. It lends this mixed berry smoothie a rich and nutty flavor, as well as a surprising warmth, thanks to the added spices. The sweet and tart berries give the drink its deep purple color, and you can use a mix of any varieties you have on hand. We recommend using a blend of fresh and frozen for the best texture in your smoothie, but if the fruit is out-of-season, frozen is your best bet, since it was packaged while the berries were in-season and in peak ripeness.
